The Ultimate Question
I have been through this entire thread. While I do not have the first-hand knowledge of cavediver or Son Goku I do follow the discipline most carefully. I will not, cannot, argue the specifics you present, but will give some observations and a few questions.
First you present yourself quite well. You seem accomplished in letters and philosophy and, whether Normal Realism is efficacious or not, you appear genuine in your belief.
You claim, and we have no reason to disbelieve, that you know and have rubbed shoulders with some prominent members of the physics community.
You further claim that Normal Realism can or has solved some of the more perplexing issues facing the discipline such as the Pioneer Anomaly and the Missing Mass Anomaly in addition to being the Unified Quantum Relativity theory they have all been chasing for decades.
NASA and cosmologists would love to have a viable explanation for the anomalies. Quantum Relativity has been a Holy Grail for physicists for decades all of whom would jump on a viable candidate with great anticipation. No matter how new or paradigm-shifting, no matter from what venue it should arrive, a powerful viable hypothesis would cause much interest and debate in the physics community (think Mordehai Milgrom and MOND)
Why has this not happened with Normal Realism? Why, in your view, has such an explanatory hypothesis with the powerful attributes you claim not been studied by the community of physicists? Are your peers telling you and your colleagues what they see as failings of Normal Realism? What feedback are you receiving from your peers?

Re: Spin and Perception
No you're not. You just think you are,
One quantum event, just spread, from our perspective, over a few dozen light years in extent.
